Earlier I posted a message describing a problem with getting
Windows to talk to my HP LaserJet IIP.  It appeared that somewhere
a flag was probably not set correctly.  Thanks to all for several
suggestions, but none helped.

Finally I cleared the several versions of Windows from my system,
and borrowed a copy of the Windows disks from a friend.  This time
the installation went perfectly and everything appears to work.

The ONLY differences were:
   - When asked during installation whether to (1) install printers,
	(2) read documentation, (3) install applications that it could
	find, I left all of these turned on.  Previously, I had only
	requested printer installation.

   - I used a friends Windows disks, instead of the disks I had
	purchased.

I don't know if my Windows disks had a bug, or if it makes a
difference on how one responds to the installation options during
setup, and I don't have the time to find out.
